I think we can make a very astute comparison here.
Blacks in South Africa demanded "reforms" that have caused the country to precipitiously decline socially, economically, and politically.
Now, Mexicans in the U.S. are practically making vast swaths of the U.S. into a "little Mexico", and some are demanding that these areas be returned to Mexico. Well, let them look at South Africa as a chilling reminder to be careful what you wish for.
If parts of California, Texas, etc. were returned to Mexico, they would soon degenerate into the same conditions prevalent throughout Mexico.

Apartheid in South Africa was decreased when Mandela became as Head of State.

It was obscene; it was an abomination. It was every bit as much of an abomination as the open racism that America practiced into the 1960s. (NOTE: I do not contend that racism has gone away, but its practitioners are fewer and more covert now).
America certainly didn't have a heck of a lot of moral authority on the apartheid issue when we pressured South Africa to change its policies.

My opinion is that I could give a crap about politics in Africa.

It was an excellent example of racism's logical conclusion.

A reprehensible policy that has been rightly overturned.
